Migracije, siva ekonomija i društveno isključivanje u Španjolskoj

The article examines the connection between recent migration to Spain and the role of the Spanish informal economy with its requirements for inexpensive, unregistered labour as one of the most crucial factors of early and contemporary labour immigration. Due to restrictive migration policy a marked social differentiation has occurred between Spanish citizens, new residents (from the EU) and immigrants. Migrant workers are often at the very bottom of the social scale, and it is in the interest of the capital to continue the policy of exclusion and foster their non-integration.Članak propituje vezu između suvremenih ekonomskih migracija u Španjolsku i ulogu španjolske sive ekonomije i njene potrebe za jeftinom, neprijavljenom radnom snagom kao jednim od ključnih faktora rane i privremene ekonomske imigracije. Zbog restriktivne imigracijske politike nastala je značajna razlika između španjolskih državljana, novog stanovništva iz Europske Unije i imigranata. Ekonomski imigranti se često nalaze na dnu društvene ljestvice, a u interesu je velikog kapitala da se nastavi politika isključivanja i onemogući njihova integracija

Ambivalentnost identifikacij pri transnacionalnih migracijah med Argentino in Slovenijo

The article explores the issue of ambivalent identities in transnational migrations between Argentina and Slovenia. Recent migrations between the two states are historically and causally related to political emigration after the Second World War from Slovenia to Argentina and the formation of a diasporic community that asserted complex symbolic links to its homeland. Due to this connection, contemporary migrants can claim and (re)activate their Slovene origin, ‘original’ culture, belonging, citizenship and social identities.Avtor obravnava ambivalentnost oziroma premakljivost identifikacij, ki spremljajo transnacionalne migracije med Argentino in Slovenijo. Nedavne »povratne« migracije so zgodovinsko in vzročno povezane s političnim begunstvom iz Slovenije v Argentino po drugi svetovni vojni ter z oblikovanjem diaspore, ki je ohranjala in rekonstruirala simbolne povezave z domovino. Zaradi aktivnega ohranjanja tovrstnih povezav lahko sodobni migranti pri migraciji in oblikovanju socialnih identitet uporabijo slovensko poreklo, »izvorno« kulturo, pripadnost in državljanstvo

Adult sexual dynamics in persons with the history of sexual abuse

Sexuality is most natural and healthy when it is part of an emotionally genuine relationship, not even as its central part but rather as an upgrade of the intimacy of two people who are mutually loyal, committed, loving and respectful. However, if an individual was sexually abused in childhood, they may have suffered the severest consequences of sexual abuse trauma in the area of sexuality, and their experience of sexuality will be completely different from those who were not sexually abused. The article first describes what children learn about sex if they have been sexually abused, as this experience is very much related to the most common behaviours and experiences in adult sexuality. Then we present a theoretical overview of research on sexuality in adults who suffered childhood sexual abuse. The theory will be supplemented and supported by the statements of individuals who have been attending a therapeutic group for the sexually abused in childhood for two years. The statements quoted in the article refer to the period prior to the therapeutic process. Clinical experience shows that, until the victim has resolved the trauma of sexual abuse, the dynamics between the offender and the victim during childhood abuse is most often very similar to the dynamics of the abused with their partner, even in their sexual life

When the Family becomes the Most Dangerous Place: Relations, Roles and Dynamics within Incestuous Families

The family is supposed to give the child a sense of security, belonging, acceptance and love.1 If, however, instead of these pleasant experiences, the most prevalent atmosphere is that of, abuse, trauma, violence, horror and fear, the child will not feel safe, accepted and loved. Even worse, later in life, he will unconsciously search for situations that will awaken in him, and re-create that primary atmosphere and underlying affects, because in his intrapsychic world, they equal belonging and familiarity. Clinical experience and research show that incest is one of the severest traumas caused to the human psyche and body. In the paper, we will first present the definition, prevalence and discuss factors such as the duration of the incest and the age of victims and perpetrators. Then, we will describe the relations, roles and dynamics within incestuous families, where the child finds himself with his own pain among people who should be trustworthy, who should give safety and a sense of being loved, but instead they abuse the child, violating all the boundaries, taking away one’s dignity and killing the soul.The family is supposed to give the child a sense of security, belonging, acceptance and love.1 If, however, instead of these pleasant experiences, the most prevalent atmosphere is that of, abuse, trauma, violence, horror and fear, the child will not feel safe, accepted and loved.

Analysis of hydraulic conditions in steep river channel on the case of Hotoveljscica torrent

Extensive areas of steep slopes and uneven distribution of precipitation in Slovenia result in\ud a great number of watercourses which have torrential characteristics. That is why we are on\ud a daily basis encountering and trying to deal with problems which torrents are bringing into\ud built environment. Computer programs used for modeling of watercourses are based on\ud standard equations for analysing hydraulic conditions in lowland watercourses; they might\ud not give correct results in steep torriental watercourses. This graduation thesis focuses on\ud the issue of hydraulics of steep stream channels and the limitations when using classic\ud hydraulic equations and mathematical hydraulic models, such as Hec-Ras. In the practical\ud part, a specific section of the Hotoveljščica torrent is examined in terms of river-bed and\ud hydraulic conditions additionaly, erosion processes are analyzed. An outline plan for flood\ud protection measures ate the analyzed section of the Hotoveljščica torrent is proposed

Translokalne skupnosti v urbanih naseljih Port Moresbyja. Pomen pojmovanja prostora v procesu ustvarjanja etničnih identitet

Avtor v prispevku predstavlja urbano skupnost priseljencev iz Okape v Vzhodnem višavju, ki živijo v barakarskem naselju Two Mile v Port Moresbyju, glavnem mestu Papue Nove Gvineje. Obravnavano je razmerje med pojmovanjem prostora in nastankom translokalnih urbanih etničnih skupnosti.V kontekstu (post)kolonialne urbanizacije in migracij v mesta se priseljenci v urbane skupnosti povezujejo na podlagi predstav o skupnem izvirnem okolju ter ustvarjajo in rekonceptualizirajo svoje socialne mreže. Skupno izvirno okolje namreč v mestih postane tista kategorija, zaradi katere se posamezniki združujejo s sorodniki in rojaki, se naselijo v majhne zaselke in se povezujejo v širše urbane skupnosti. Njihove razpršene lokacije v urbanih naseljih Port Moresbyja so povezane v širšo socialno mrežo ali translokalno etnično skupnost. *** This paper presents an urban community of migrants from Okapa in Eastern Highlands that settled in an urban settlement (shantytown) Two Mile in Port Moresby, the capital of Papua New Guinea. The author explores a connection between conceptualisation of space and creation of translocal urban ethnic communities. In the context of (post)colonial urbanization and rural-urban migration, city immigrants create and reconceptualize their social networks and identifications on the basis of their common origin. Common origin that also implies a possession of a common culture is a category, which in an urban context, allows a formation of a wantok sistem, a network of migrants, settled in various urban settlements. Although they live in small settlements at various locations, dispersed all over the city, Okapians are organized into a wider social network or translocal urban ethnic community

Measurements of temperatures in concretes with use of optical cables

V magistrski nalogi je obravnavana problematika, povezana z razvojem temperature ob hidrataciji cementa v betonu. Ob strjevanju betona prihaja do kemične reakcije, pri kateri prihaja do sproščanja toplote in tako višanja temperature v betonski masi. Visoke temperature in predvsem neenakomerna razporeditev temperatur v prerezu betona privedejo do nastanka notranjih napetosti, ki omogočajo nastanek razpok in s tem poslabšanja fizikalnih lastnosti uporabljenega betona. V prvem delu magistrske naloge je obravnavana tehnologija v povezavi z uporabo optičnih kablov za meritev temperatur, drugi del pa je namenjen eksperimentalnemu delu magistrske naloge. V laboratoriju smo pripravili dva betonska preizkušanca z vgrajenim optičnim kablom in analizirali razvoj temperature s časom ob hidrataciji cementa v betonu. Zaradi omejitev merske naprave pri prostorski natančnosti, je bilo nemogoče določiti natančen položaj merskih točk v izbranem času posameznih meritev, kljub temu pa so razvidne izrazite temperaturne spremembe po prerezu betonskih preizkušancev. Prav zaradi omejitev merske naprave pri prostorski natančnosti je ob koncu predstavljen nov način montaže optičnega kabla, ki zaobide omenjene težave. Rezultati meritev novega betonskega preizkušanca, z novim načinom montaže optičnega kabla bodo predstavljeni v prihodnjih znanstvenih publikacijah.In the master\u27s thesis, the problems discussed are related to the development of temperature while hydrating the concrete mass. When the concrete is hardened, a chemical reaction occurs in which the heat is released and thus increases the temperature in the concrete mass. High temperatures and, above all, uneven distribution of temperatures in the cross-section of the concrete lead to the formation of internal tensions, which allow cracking in the concrete and consequently deteriorates the physical properties of the concrete used. The first part of the master\u27s thesis deals with the technology in connection with the use of optical cables for measuring the temperature, while the second section of master\u27s thesis is devoted to the experimental part, where we installed two concrete specimens with a fiber optic cable in the laboratory and analyzed the development of temperature during the hydration of the concrete. Due to the constraints of the measuring device in the spatial accuracy, it was impossible to determine the precise position of the measurement points at the selected time of the individual measurements, however, there are obvious temperature changes after the cross-section of concrete specimens. Precisely due to the limitation of the measuring device in the spatial accuracy, a new method of mounting an optical cable, which circumvents the aforementioned problems, is presented at the end. The results of the measurements of the new concrete specimen, with the new way of installing the optical cable, will be presented in future scientific publications
